Great people, amazing pool. Best dinner we had in Sri Lanka!!! We didn’t attend any safari, because we loved the place and enjoyed some rest in pool there. Amazing place, very clean- you have to visit and try family dinner!

It was the best stay in Sri Lanka but not the most expensive. Everything was clean, new, well mentained and functional. The host picked us up at the bus stop when we arrived and droped us off for free to another further junction when we left. When we went to our room, they already made the tea waiting for us. Also we had 2 bottles of water. Hot shwer worked well. For this price it was really like a true 4 star hotel. The room design was simple and elegant. Even though there was no air con, yhe night was cool. We really enjoyed this place! We booked the safari tour as well :) We had to leave earlier so we didn't take the lunch there. (USD 7 per person by the way)

Lovely setting in a beautiful homestay environment. It was very peaceful sitting in their beautiful garden, and the orchestra of frogs in the evening was a delight. The rooms were comfortable and spotless. Dimu and his wife were so genuine and lovely, and the curries were delicious. Dimu organised a safari tour with Sumudu as our guide. Sumudu's knowledge and respect for the animals was very much appreciated. We saw many wild elephants, Sambur deer (very rare), deer, wild boar, golden jackals, Buffalo, crocodiles, peacocks, monitor lizards, mongoose and many beautiful birds. One of the highlights of our trip! Thanks for an amazing stay, Dimu!

The best host we’ve had so far: easygoing, always ready to help; accommodation is great as well: everything is new, clean and in good condition. The host suggested going on safari in the afternoon because it is not that cold as in the morning, and he was right: the safari was unbelievable.

The hosts were as kind as possible and very competent. Same for the safari driver who always tried to avoid over crowded area thinking about the animals and us. I recommend to have dinner there because the food was amazing. If you pass by Udawalawe, you wanna have a stop at Mango Tree House.

The owner was super caring, the location was beautiful, the room was clean and had really good conditions. You can have dinner at the hotel, where the family will cook a very tasty and local meal for you for a very fair price. The place is small and feels like home. We really really recommend this place as it was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

I stayed in a tree house for one night and it was such an exciting night. The yard of this place is so beautiful and next to it you will be able to find peacocks from the national park walking around. At night some animals were walking on the rooftop. But it wasn't bothering at all. Food was delicious and the portions really big. I highly recommend to book safari tour here too because, since my breakfast was included into the price, I were able to eat the delicious breakfast at the national park with the most amazing view. The staff is incredibly nice and friendly and the picked me up from the station and brought me to the bus station. I would definitely come here again. Thank you so much for making my stwy so special.

Amazing place! We really enjoyed our stay in Hasthi Safari Cottage which has great vibe, stylish rooms and especially the owner is brilliant :) Dasun is very friendly and helpful. He cooked home-made dinners (including typical dessert :) and breakfasts for us, everything was so tasty :) He was very caring and cooked also non spicy food for our little girls. He also arranged a safari tour for us, drove us to the river to have a swim and even took us to Ella where we were heading from Udawalawe. It was a real pleasure to meet you, Dasun, and we hope to see you again in future :)

Everything was perfect! Max is a great host, he really cooks the best food (actually the best we ate in Sri Lanka!), and our room was extremely clean and comfortable. He also organized for us a safari, and he really cared that it could be as great as possible for us. Recommended!

I stayed at Wild Park Safari Homestay only for a short time but I really liked it. The owner was very helpful in organising everything for me, the awesome safari, a tuktuk to drive me to the bus station, etc. The room was really big and comfortable and it was quiet during the night. I had an amazing time.

We just loved our stay at Hasthi Safari Cottage. Dasun is an extraordinarily friendly and lovely host. He helped us to arrange the arrival and departure to the hotel and even drove us to our next stop by himself. The atmosphere within his little paradise is fantastic. Also it's not far from the entrance of the Nationalpark and Dasun arranged a wonderful game drive for us as well. I would definitely recommend everyone to go there.

Friendly and beautifully run guest house perfect for visiting Udawalawe. Nature House surpassed our expectations - the terrace outside our room over looking the jungle was a real highlight as was the tasty curry buffet and breakfast. The owner and his son were great hosts and we would recommend this to anyone. They have a pool finished in 2 weeks too so will be even more of a top place to stay soon!

This place is a winner! Lovely host and a lovely house. So clean and comfortable. We wished we could take the room with us on our travels. Host organised a brilliant safari for us and fed us with a Sri Lankan feast for dinner and breakfast. This place should charge double what they do imo.
